WDGC Meeting
Aug 5, 2008
President Jay, Secretary Bob and Under-Secretary John were all missing
in action, so the third string was called in to temporarily fill all
vacant positions.
Eric Smith talked about the WASH VI, Sept 20th. Still needs money
and sponsorships for T-shirts and prizes. Kelly Christiansen mentioned
that Eric and several others donated to the WASH their scrip winnings
from the Calapooia Classic.
Treasurer Greg Johnson reported $415 received from Dion's 2nd tournament.
The club has $2048 in the club checking account. Disc Tzar Dave has some
money, but may use some of it to buy discs from the Albany Club (see below).
Disc Tzar Dave says it's been a busy month. The club 'lost' $6 on Dion's
first tournament, made $28 on the second (outside of the WOX 'donation'
from Dion's tournament player fees). 89 discs were sold from club inventory,
207 were bought, current inventory around 379. Over $500 has been raised
for the WOX via the fundraiser discs. Dave proposes: the WDGC didn't
contribute to the Calapooia Classic this year, and the Albany Club has
about 45 CC discs left over. Since the WDGC moves discs much faster than
the Albany Club, he moves that the WDGC buy 18-20 of the CC tournament
discs from the Albany Club at the cost of $9.55/disc. The motion is modified
to buy the discs at $11/disc (to give the Albany Club a LITTLE profit, to help
with basket purchases). The modified motion is seconded and passed unanimously.
Dave also reported that local players did well in the Calapooia Classic:
Nate took 1st, Colin 2nd (first time for 1-2 finish for them), Dion took 8th,
Kelly finished 11th (cashed!), Kim placed 2nd behind Teresa, Chris Wilcox
placed 2nd in MA1, Eric Smith took 1st in MM1, Bob Fultz took 1st and Jim Dubay
took 3rd in MG1, and Josh Johnson took 1st in MA2.
Adair Greenskeeper Everett reported that there is a pile of gravel that needs
to be moved to finish the new path on #4 and thicken the paths from #5 basket
to #6 tee, and from #6 tee to the woods. There is also a small pile of larger
rock that needs to be used to 'harden' the inflow and outflow of the culverts
on #6 and #10. There are HUGE piles of woodchips behind #3 tee and in the
parking lot that need to be spread. The piles in the parking lot should be
primarily loaded into pickups, driven into the RC field and down to basket 7
and/or tee 8, and unloaded into wheelbarrows, then spread from there in the
woods holes. Much of the woods need the paths freshened up. Much of the
blackberries between #3 basket and #4 tee have been cleared, and a new walkout
path from 3 to 4 is being established that avoids walking out to the road. It
needs a little more levelling, maybe a few 'steps', and a covering of wood
chips.
Mike Storrs proposes that the leaning tree on #10 needs to come down, and that
he'd like to see a few small trees removed on #8 and the trees in the ditch
limbed up, and 1 tree on 9 removed. Mike will flag the trees proposed for
removal, discussion will ensue on the Yahoo group, and a final vote by email
and at the Sept meeting. He wants to finish this up (assuming approval) before
WOX.
Jim Dubay reports that he has a neighbor that can do all the welding we want
on collars and sleeves.
Kelly Christiansen wants to move the practice basket closer to #1, beside the
#1 parking lot. There is some dissension. It will be fairly easy to do once
we get more anchors made. Decision is put off until then.
Mike Storrs reports that the turnout for the Handicap League is lower than
he'd hoped. Asked the club to donate a few discs for prizes to the over-all
points winner.
Greg Johnson found the list of players from the first Willamette tournament.
From that and the other tournament lists that he has, he concludes that NO
person has played in ALL of the Willamette tournaments. Of the players from
that first tournament, the only ones who have played in the last 6 tournaments
are Jim Dubay, Greg Johnson, Andrew Rich, John Ross, Chris Bell, Mark Martin,
and Eric Smith, and he knows that all of those people missed at least one of
the other tournaments.
Mike Storrs hopes that the WOX winning Pro can take home at least $750.
The meeting devolved into general name calling, bickering, and drunken carousing,
so all further business was postponed for September, when more responsible persons
will return.
Respectfully submitted,
Under-under-secretary Everett
